Coal/ oil cookers: 800 mm
IMPORTANT: DO NOT
SET YOUR COOKER HOOD LESS
THAN 700mm ABOVE YOUR COOKER.
o When installed between adjoining wall cabinets, the cabinets
must not overhang the hob.
5
o The edges of the cooker hood are sharp – be mindful of this as
you handle your appliance, especially during installation and
cleaning. DO NOT CLEAN IN BEHIND THE GREASE FILTERS!
o If the room where the cooker hood is to be used contains a fuel
burning appliance such as a central heating boiler then its flue
must be of the sealed or balanced flue type.
o If other types of flue or appliances are fitted, ensure that there is
an adequate supply of air in the room.
o When the hood is being used in its extractor function, ensure
that the ducting is fire retardant and that there are no bends
sharper than 90 degrees as this will reduce the efficiency of the
hood.
o Ensure the ducting for the extractor function has the same
diameter as the outlet hole all the way through.
o Keep young children from using, playing with or
tampering with the cooker hood. Older children
and infirm persons should be supervised if they are
using the cooker hood.
o Your cooker hood is for domestic use only.
o Please dispose of the packing material carefully – children are
especially vulnerable to it.
o Dirty oil is an even greater fire risk.
o Always put lids on pots and pans when cooking
on a gas cooker.
o The manufacturer refuses to accept any responsibility for
damages arising to the hood or it catching on fire, from a failure
to observe the fire safety advice contained in this instruction
booklet.
6
o Remember that when in extraction mode, your cooker hood is
removing air from your room. Ensure that proper ventilation
measures are being observed.
o Note: Your cooker hood is designed to remove cooking
odours from the room and not steam.
o Warning - Always ensure that the cooker
hood has been disconnected from the
power supply before carrying out any work
on the hood, including replacing light bulbs.
o Do not connect the ducting system of this appliance to any
existing ventilation system which is being used for any other
purpose.
o Do not install above a cooker with a high level grill.
7
o Never leave frying pans unattended during use
as overheated fats and oils might catch fire.
o The lights on this appliance should only be used during operation
of the cooker hood. They should not be left on permanently and
used as a lighting source.
o The cooker hood should not be exposed to a direct heat source
from the cooking device underneath it, i.e. a naked flame from a
gas burner or heat from electric hob zones without a pan on
them.
o Do not attempt to use the cooker hood if it is damaged in any
way. Never attempt to use it without the grease filters fitted or
if the filters are excessively greasy!
o Never flambé cook under this cooker hood.

Cleaning your Baumatic cooker hood
IMPORTANT: BEFORE CLEANING, ALWAYS
ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE SWITCHED YOUR
COOKER HOOD OFF AT THE OMNI-POLAR
SWITCH, SET AT THE WALL FROM THE CABLE.
Cleaning
o Clean the external parts of your cooker hood with mild liquid
detergent and a new damp cloth.

o Never insert pointed objects into the motor’s protective grid.
o Only clean the control panel and grease filter grill with mild liquid
detergents and a new damp cloth.
o If you are using the appliance in recirculation mode, then be
sure to replace the carbon filter at the recommended interval
(see section on “Fitting the carbon filter”). A build up of grease
could cause a fire hazard.
o Never attempt to clean the area above the grease filter(s).
The grease filters
o Your cooker hood includes grease filters which help to absorb
grease particles to protect your kitchen and furniture from
greasy residues.
o These metallic filters may become inflammable if they become
saturated with this greasy residue.
o To prevent this fire hazard, the filters should be cleaned
regularly. Depending on use, this should be done every 10-15
days or at least once a month, using hot water and normal
washing-up detergent.
o DO NOT WASH THE GREASE FILTERS IN A DISHWASHER.
11
Maintenance
Removing and cleaning the grease filters
12
o First lift up the cover screen and
then remove the grease filters by
pulling down on the handle and
pulling them away from the cooker
hood as shown in the diagram
above.
o Soak the grease filters in hot water and washing up liquid for at
least 3 minutes. Then use a soft brush to loosen any grease
deposits that have formed.
o Rinse the grease filters off thoroughly with hot
water.
o Repeat the process if required.
o Refit the grease filters once they have dried
and close the cover screen.
IMPORTANT: Let the grease filters dry thoroughly before
refitting them in the cooker hood.
Changing a light bulb
IMPORTANT: BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE
A LIGHT BULB, YOU MUST ENSURE THAT YOU
HAVE DISCONNECTED THE COOKER HOOD FROM
YOUR MAINS SUPPLY.
13
o Prior to touching the light bulbs ensure they are cooled down.
Using a flat-headed screwdriver, gently prise the edge of the light
unit out of the fixture, as shown in the picture below. Please note
that it may be easier to use two screwdrivers.
o Once the light unit has been released from the fixture, gently
pull out the light unit.
o There are wires connected to the back of the light unit. Once you
have pulled out the light unit and wires a short distance, you can
disconnect the wires by pulling them out of the connectors.
IMPORTANT: It is not possible to replace the bulbs individually.
It will be necessary to obtain the bulbs, bulb holders and wiring as a
complete part. This is available from our Spares Department.
o Fit the replacement light unit and wiring in the reverse order,
first by attaching the wires to the connectors, and then by
inserting the light unit into the light fixture.
o Ensure that the light unit securely locks into place.
IMPORTANT: If the light unit still does not work after installing the new
unit then please ensure that the wires have been properly connected
and the hood has been reconnected to the power supply before
contacting the Customer Service Department.
Fitting the carbon filters
If the appliance is being used to be used in recirculation mode then it
is necessary to fit carbon filters. This will help to absorb unpleasant
odours caused by cooking.
IMPORTANT: BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO FIT OR
REMOVE THE CARBON FILTERS, YOU MUST
ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE DISCONNECTED THE
COOKER HOOD FROM YOUR MAINS SUPPLY.
1) Remove the grease filters (as described
previously).
2) Hook the carbon filter over
the pins that are located at the
end of the motor.
14
3) Turn the carbon filter clockwise, until
you feel it click into place.
o Repeat this process for the
second carbon filter. You need to
place a carbon filter at either end
of the motor.
o Refit the grease filters.
o The carbon filters should be replaced every 3 - 6 months or if
they show signs of damage.
Installation
IMPORTANT: Before installation and usage read
all the instructions and make sure that the
voltage (V) and the frequency (Hz) indicated on
the rating plate are exactly the same as the
voltage and frequency in your home. The rating
plate can be found behind the grease filters.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility in the event of the installer
failing to observe all the accident prevention regulations in force,
which are necessary for normal use and the regular operation of the
electric system.
15
Electrical connection
16
YOUR COOKER HOOD IS INTENDED FOR FITTED AND
PERMANENT INSTALLATION.
o The cooker hood’s power cable must be fitted upstream from the
electrical connection, using an omni-polar switch with a contact
distance of at least 3 mm. THE FUSE MUST BE RATED AT 3
AMPS.
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED. It
should only be connected by a competent person, using
fixed wiring via a double pole switched fused spur outlet.
(UK ONLY).
We recommend that the appliance is connected by a qualified
electrician, who is a member of the N.I.C.E.I.C. and who will comply
with the I.E.E. and local regulations. The wires in the mains lead are
coloured in accordance with the following UK code:
Blue = Neutral, Brown = Live, Green/Yellow = Ground
If you only find two wires in the main’s lead (blue and brown),
then neither must be connected to the earth terminal.
o As the colours of the wires in the appliance’s mains lead may not
correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals
in your spur box, please proceed as follows:
o The blue wire must be connected to the
terminal marked “N” (neutral), or coloured
black.
o The brown wire must be connected to the
terminal marked “L” (live), or coloured red.
Before beginning installation
o Check that the product purchased is of a suitable size for the
chosen installation area. In addition check whether there is an
electrical socket available that will be accessible once the hood is
mounted. If the product is going to be used in extraction mode,
then there should also be space to connect a ducting hose to the
outside.
o Carry out all necessary masonry work prior to the fitting of the
cooker hood.
17
o Ensure that all electrical connections are carried out by a suitably
qualified person.
o Before commencing installation of the cooker hood the grease
filter should be removed.
o Check inside the product and insure that there is no transit
packaging or any other materials, such as packets of screws,
guarantees etc. These should be removed and kept for future
use.
o If possible, disconnect and move freestanding or slot-in cookers
from their position, to provide easier access to the rear wall and
ceiling. If this is not possible, then a thick, protective covering
should be placed over the worktop, hob top or cooker. This will
help to protect these surfaces from damage and debris.
o Select a flat surface for assembling the cooker hood. Cover that
surface with a protective covering and place all cooker hood
parts and fittings on it.
o In addition check whether there is an electrical socket available,
which will be accessible after the hood is mounted. If you are
going to use the appliance in extractor mode, you should also
ensure that there is space to connect a fumes discharge device
to the outside.
o Rawl plugs are provided to secure the hood to most types of
walls and ceilings. However a qualified technician must verify the
suitability of the materials, in accordance with the type of wall
and ceiling. The wall and ceiling must be strong enough to take
the weight of the hood.
o Do not tile, grout or silicone this appliance to the wall. This
appliance is designed to be surface mounted only.
Extraction mode or recirculation mode?
IMPORTANT: YOU WILL HAVE TO DECIDE BEFORE
INSTALLING YOUR COOKER HOOD WHETHER TO USE
IT IN EXTRACTION MODE OR RECIRCULATION
MODE.
What is the difference between extraction and recirculation
modes?
In extraction mode, the stale air will be taken out of the room via
external ducting.
In recirculation mode stale air is taken via the grease filter(s), and
passed through a charcoal filter for purification. The air then re-enters
the kitchen via an opening in the hood.
For optimum performance, we recommend that the cooker hood is
used in extraction mode and connected to external ducting.
Unfortunately if you live in a flat or the hood is too far from an outside
wall, this may not be possible. The only alternative is to recirculate the
air.
Do I need a charcoal filter?
All cooker hoods have a grease filters but if you are using your cooker
hood in recirculation mode, then a charcoal filter must be fitted in
addition to the grease filters.
Installing your cooker hood
o We recommend that at least two people install
this hood.
o Please note that the styles of cooker hood shown in the
line drawings in the following pages are sometimes
different to the shape of the BES900BGL. However the
installation method shown is correct and MUST be
followed.
18
IMPORTANT: YOUR COOKER HOOD SHOULD BE CONNECTED TO
YOUR MAINS SUPPLY AFTER THE REST OF THE INSTALLATION
PROCESS HAS BEEN COMPLETED.
19
1) Remove the grease filters (as
previously described).
2) Position the hood against the wall that you are intending to install it
on and mark the position of the screw holes that are to be drilled (as
shown in the figure above).
2a) The support screw holes are indicated by figure A in this drawing
and the anchoring screw holes are indicated by figure B.
3) Using a drill bit with an 8 mm
diameter, make holes in the wall on the
positions that you have marked in step
2.
4) Insert rawl plugs into all of the holes that you have drilled.
5) Fasten the support screws halfway in, leaving them 10 mm out of
the wall.
